Access to Internet Might Need to be Limited - Former CIA Dir.George Tenet
http://www.WantToKnow.info/internetaccess

The national ID card bill is about to pass and we're desperately trying to mobilize people to call their Congressman and voice opposition to it. http://infowars.com
Please read the details at the following link and then call your Congressman with the number provided.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2004/071204nationalid.htm
PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE RIGHT NOW 
AND VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
The bill is S 2845 or 'intelligence reform' and the sub-section with the national ID card provisions is 7212.
Tell your congressperson to get the federal mandates for standardized drivers licenses out of the bill.
According to Deist, the bill would not only introduce the national ID card, but make it mandatory to have a job as well as setting up internal checkpoints in the USA.
The House Switchboard number is (202) 225-3121. Simply ask for your Representative by name.
If you don't know your representative, use the House website to find him/her by simply typing in your ZIP code. Click here. http://www.house.gov

Oh well, TOO LATE. NAZI BILL PASSED. Please ignore or arrest any NAZI
who asks you for a national ID card "Your papers, please!"
Geneva convention says we are to resist genocide by any means necessary.
US constitution instructs us to overthrow our government when it does not represent us.
Start with the first officer who asks you for a national ID card. REVOLT!

Fallujah to become a high tech concentration camp
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/NIM412A.html
Fallujah: Pentagon Plans a High-Tech Strategic Hamlet, by Kurt Nimmo
   The Pentagon plans to funnel returning Fallujans to "citizen processing
centers" where their identities will be compiled via DNA tests and retina
scans, they will be issued badges displaying their home addresses which they
must wear at all times, will depend upon military-run buses for
transportation (no cars allowed. Men will have to work in "military style
battalions" reconstructing the city (which the US military destroyed). A
senior US military officer told the Boston Globe to expect no more "Oprah
stuff", the military will show the Iraqis who is dominant. And Fallujah will
be a "model city" for the rest of Iraq!

http://ACLU.org "Refuse to Surrender Your Freedom" Campaign - Take the Pledge! 

Our most fundamental freedoms are in jeopardy. Only a bold, spirited movement of people like you who refuse to surrender your freedoms can protect our civil liberties -- that is why the ACLU has launched our "Refuse to Surrender Your Freedom" campaign. 

On January 20th, George Bush will pledge to uphold the Constitution. Our goal is to recruit 100,000 new ACLU supporters by that day to proclaim "I REFUSE TO SURRENDER MY FREEDOM" by taking this simple pledge: 

"I pledge to join with over 400,000 ACLU members and supporters to help ensure that the President, his administration, and our leaders in Congress fulfill their duty to preserve, protect, and defend our Constitution. 

By reaffirming my commitment to the American values of justice and liberty for all, I am enlisting in a powerful movement to defend our freedoms against assaults on our civil liberties." 

Please stand with us and make it clear to those who seek to take away our freedoms that they are on the wrong side of the law . . . the wrong side of core American values . . . and the wrong side of history. Take the pledge now and stand strong in support of freedom. 

If you haven't already taken the pledge, add your name to those of over 40,000 people who have - it only takes a minute:  http://www.aclu.org/refusetosurrender

BushCo: Rat Poison For Kids

EPA'S BACKROOM DEAL WITH CHEMICAL COMPANIES TRIPLES RAT POISONING RATE IN KIDS

In 2001, the Bush led EPA struck a deal with chemical companies to remove two important rat poison regulations designed to protect the safety of children. Specifically, the safety measures had required rat poisons contain an ingredient that makes the candy-like pellets taste bitter to kids and a dye to make it more obvious to adults when a child has ingested the poison.

As a result of no longer requiring those safety additives, the nation is now seeing a record number of children poisoned by the toxic pellets. This year more than 50,000 children were poisoned by rodenticides, which is three times as many as were affected prior to the removal of safety regulations.

According to a recent article in the Los Angeles Times, the EPA met five times behind closed doors with representatives of the chemical industry, which ultimately resulted in the removal of the safety regulations.

Court date to be set for Summons or Warrant for Torture Charges against Bush
Court date to be set for Torture Charges against Bush

Thursday, December 2, 2004
_________________________________________________________________
Lawyers against the War applied today to have the torture charges against 
George Bush  set before a judge to determine whether a summons or warrant should 
issue.   A date will be set in BC Provincial Court, Criminal Division, at 
Vancouver on Monday December 6th 2004. 

Torture charges against Bush were laid November 30th 2004 by Gail Davidson, 
co-chair of Lawyers against the War--LAW, under provisions enacted pursuant to 
the U.N. Convention against Torture, ratified by Canada in 1987 and the United 
States in 1994.  The charges concern the well known abuses of prisoners held 
by US Armed Forces in the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the Guantánamo Bay 
prison in Cuba. 

Because Bush is not a Canadian citizen the consent of the Attorney General of 
Canada is required within 8 days in order for the prosecution to continue. 

LAW has requested that Attorney General of Canada, Irwin Cotler review the 
evidence upon which the charges are based before deciding whether to consent to 
the prosecution.

Canada has a duty under the Convention against Torture to ‘take effective 
measures to prevent torture’.

Today is the 20 year anniversary of the Union Carbide accident in Bhopal
Today is the 20 year anniversary of the Union Carbide accident in Bhopal, so I decided to write Dow a little letter... I thought it was funny, anyway. :-) 

Dow Chemical 
4520 Ashman Street
P. O. Box 1206
Midland, MI 48642

Dear Union Carbide/Dow Chemical Company: 
Congratulations on your victory over human rights! For 20 years after the massive Bhopal chemical disaster, you have successfully avoided making adequate reparations to the 150,000 people you've injured and 20,000 you've killed. And to date, you still haven't cleaned up the accident site! I am amazed at how you've successfully managed to balance corporate profit at the expense of hundreds of thousands of people; this is a feat not many companies can accomplish. See, in America, corporations run the risk of occasionally being held accountable for their actions (and I do mean occasionally!), but you were smart enough to set up shop in a third-world country where people are too poor and powerless to protect themselves. As I tell my friends: in today's fast-paced world, who has time to pay attention to petty human rights issues when you're trying to maximize corporate profit? 

As Bill O'Reilly would say, those whining Bhopalians should just SHUT UP. "Oh, waa, I can't afford medical treatment for my massive lung scarring, I'm dying of horrific cancers, and I've given birth to five deformed babies, waa waa!" Come on people, move on already! Just because you're too sick to get out of bed, that doesn't mean you have the right to try to take the right to take Dow's hard-earned money to pay for your medical bills. Please. Get fucking serious.

As a matter of fact, my roommate and I were just making fun of the disaster victims last night. We're going to organize a dorm-wide reenactment of the chemical spill... man, how funny will that be? All of us screaming up and down the hallways, gasping for breath, vomiting as fluid fills our lungs, trampling our own friends to death because the chemicals are burning through our eyes... oh man! I'm cracking up right now just thinking about it! 

Anyway, I'd like to congratulate you on your successes; you must have worked very hard to reach the number one spot for worst industrial accident in world history. Not only does your company manufacture vast quantities of toxic chemicals, but through gross negligence and lawlessness, you've managed to share these your murderous product with thousands of Indian citizens. 

Once again, congratulations, and I look forward to seeing what great industrial disasters you guys can come up with next!  Sincerely,  Abbey Hartland

# WMD: WEAPONS MASS DECEPTION FILM OPENS WITH GUEST SPEAKERS:DIRECTOR DANNY SCHECHTER AND ACTIVIST MEDEA BENJAMIN, DEMEMBER 10-12, 2004
Friday, December 10 2004  - Sunday, December 12 2004 
4:00 PM
Opening weekend shows for the film WMD: WEAPONS MASS DECEPTION will include comments and discussion by its director Danny Schechter, and by activist Medea Benjamin. Schechter will speak with audiences at both evening shows on Friday, December 10 and Saturday, December 11; Benjamin will speak at the late afternoon show on Sunday, September 12; all at the Embarcadero Center Cinema in San Francisco. Other details and information available at: 415/267-4893, and at 
http://www.landmarktheatres.com

In the new film WMD: WEAPONS OF MASS DECEPTION, Danny Schechter examines the way TV networks in America considered their non-stop coverage of the war in Iraq their finest hour, pointing to the use of embedded journalists and new technologies. But different countries saw different wars. Why? WMD explores this story with the findings of gutsy insider-turned-outsider Danny Schechter, a former network journalist and one of America's most prolific media critics. Schechter "self-embedded" himself in his living room, fastidiously monitoring and tracking TV coverage on a daily basis. The resulting film busts through so-called "objective reporting" to challenge media complicity with the government and its cooperation in presenting the Iraq War the way it did.

# Fierce Couture and Sean Allen Fenn & the Maids of Dishonor
 Fri Dec 10 9:30pm $5
 Giving in to emotion and obsession, electronic musician Sean Allen Fenn 
fuses dark, poetic,
indie rock with bedroom-produced electronic music and a pop 
sensibility. His emotive,
dissonant- yet-desirable sound represents the furtive lifestyle of the 
svelte San Francisco urbanite tinged with an innocent magnetism.

The performance environment will include: improvisational dance scores
that aim to open the human bodies integral connections with the natural
world, video projections which explore architecture, depth, boundaries
and landscape, and live sculptural installation intended to open our

# We're having a small party before the event from 6 to 7, with a little wine and perhaps some food, so feel free to stop by early and mingle with some of SF Green Party Housing and Land Use members and others.

The Green Party Housing and Land Use Group Presents:

The November 2004 Election Results

San Francisco Housing Issues, IRV and the National Races - What did we learn and where do we go next?
With:
Matt Gonzalez, San Francisco Board of Supervisors
Steven Hill, New America Foundation and author of Fixing Elections
Ted Gullicksen, SF Tenants Union
Saturday, December 11th, 7 - 9 pm
New College of California
777 Valencia Street, San Francisco

Before Matt Gonzalez leaves the Board of Supervisors for new challenges, the Green Party Housing and Land Use working group thought this would be a good time to hear Matt's reflections on the recent national and local election results and get his thoughts about future San Francisco housing issues.

Joining Matt will be Steven Hill, chief proponent of Instant Runoff Voting used in the November 2004 Board of Supervisor races and author of Fixing Elections: the Failure of Winner Take All Politics (www.FixingElections.com), which has been called "the most important book on American democracy in many years." Steven and Matt will give their reflections on the recent elections nationally and locally and report on how IRV worked this year, along with strategies progressives might use in upcoming elections. They'll also discuss future improvements to San Francisco's election rules that could benefit progressive candidates and causes.

In the second half of the program Matt and Ted Gullicksen discuss San Francisco housing issues with the perspective of the 2/3 of the city's residents who are tenants. They'll address the prospects for building new affordable housing in the aftermath of the defeat of Prop A and discuss proposed changes to local landlord tenant rules in the wake of recent appellate court rulings.

As always, audience questions and dialogue with the presenters will be encouraged.

Finally, in 2005 the local Green Party will begin drafting its housing and land use platform. If you're interested in shaping the final document, contact the group with your suggestions, watch the Green Party website for upcoming meeting times or sign-up to receive periodic emails from the internal HLU working group. For details about the housing seminar series visit our HLU web page on the SF Green Party website.

Holiday spoof drag band: Smashup Derby (featuring Adrian Roberts of Blue Period), RUN DMC puppetshow, DJ Pusspuss, Stilt Walkers Fashion Show, Twisted Toy Making, and more! 

Naughty Santa’s is shining a little light for today’s shoppers. They have re-worked the traditional crafts fair. This revival brings edge, irony and attitude. Choose from many one-of-a-kind gifts under $20. Or support local artists and pamper yourself with fashion, art or jewelry priced as high as your rent-check. 

“This is not your grandmother’s crafts fair!!” 

“It’s like a vast art gallery of eclectic fine arts” 

“A feast of visual and tactile delights”

Naughty Santa’s has established a 2 hour ‘family’ period (after naptime before dinner/bedtime) that is stroller and young adult friendly. We have asked the artists to respect that younger people might be viewing their art. There still may be some explaining to do. It may be the easiest way for families to experience art together.

“I dress in elf garb for the Naughty Santas' Black Market, just on the off chance other elves might be similarly lured. Under the auspices of Hernan and Brynne Cortez, SomArts has been transformed into less a winter wonderland than a surrealist toy shop located somewhere beyond the looking glass. In the main hall, artists peddle their wares -- hand-painted fairy wings, animated jewelry, hats adorned by antennae and fun fur, plush-toy vaginas, insuperable games, and fantastic apparel -- while self-appointed "toychitects" forage through mounds of decimated playthings, combining their parts into strangely beautiful Frankentoys using just a hot-glue gun and a few shots of peppermint schnapps. While this is an ideal setting for him, Crackhead Elf is nowhere to be seen. I wander into the theater, where Kennedy is fronting the Yuletards, a group of very off-color Christmas carolers, and I am immediately caught on the business end of a candy cane. 

"We've lost our elf," says the spritely Santa-girl on the other end of my favorite peppermint confection. "Will you help us?" I glance around at the bleary-eyed Santas in her company and think better of it. It's a well-known fact among holiday miscreants that the Naughty Santas have a long-running feud with the Porn Clown Posse, and I don't want to be stuck in the middle. Sure enough, in a matter of minutes, there is a great disturbance. Lascivious clowns wearing adult undergarments and strap-on dildos descend on the Santas, shouting invectives about subnormal Santa intelligence while wielding whips and bottles of cheap clown booze. The Santas fight back. There's a smackdown in the kiddie pool. Baby bottles and grapes go flying. Greasepaint and fake white beards are everywhere. It's revolting and depressing, and, just when I think I can't take it anymore, something happens. The Santas offer the Porn Clowns a peace offering -- a black velvet clown portrait -- and the age-old rivals agree to a truce, promising from here forward to turn their aggressions to the more constructive task of slaughtering Easter Bunnies. It's a Christmas miracle. It warms the cockles of my heart (in much the way that certain appendages are warmed, whenever a Porn Clown pees in his diaper, just because he can). As peace descends over the Black Market, a troupe of living tulips gathers onstage for the Cloud Factory Design Collective's otherworldly fashion show.

### Fri Dec 17

# Fri Dec 17 Mark your calendar! On Friday, December 17, I'll be hosting this 
month's "Green Beat Music Gathering" featuring acoustic 
singer/songwriters, massage, organic vegetarian food, and other fun 
stuff.

(I'm right now talking with Henna tattoo artists, psychics, and hemp 
clothing designers about strutting their stuff at the Gathering 
too... If you're an artist, healer, or vendor, contact me about this 
opportunity!)

When: 6:00 - 9:30pm, Friday December 17
Where: One Taste, 1074 Folsom (near 7th St), SF.
Cost: $10 at the door -- but see below for details on getting a 2-for-
1 deal!

Now let me tell you about this month's music... I've searched the far 
corners of the Bay area for the most passionate unsigned 
singer/songwriters. I've convinced them to break from their glamorous 
nightclub appearances, and unveil their hearts and souls in this 
intimate Gathering.

From 6:00 - 7:00pm, hang out with us at the in-house Organic Cafe, 
and enjoy soups, salads, desserts, juices, and smoothies. Plus, visit 
the artists, healers, and vendors I am lining up for you right now!

From 7:00 - 9:30pm, Forest Sun, Jesse Dyen, and I will perform 
original songs in an intimate "round robin" atmosphere. You'll be 
touched by acoustic songs about love, fear, and courage, then roused 
by delicious social commentary. There will be a few open slots for 
other songwriters, so come early to sign up.

A musical vagabond, Forest runs the gamut from speakeasy blues and 
southern soul to reggae and folk. Jesse's songs explore the strengths 
and frailties of the human condition, and employ his remarkable voice 
to orchestrate a melodic, soulful brew. 

If you haven't seen me perform yet, you'll be amazed at how 
passionate and vulnerable I become when performing. Fans compare my 
voice to Jim Morrison's, and say my songwriting falls between Billy 
Joel and Andrew Lloyd Weber. You can read about all three of us at 
http://www.acousticsongwriters.com/new_york_live_music_dates.htm 

You can also hear our music by visiting our respective web pages at:
www.cdbaby.com/trevorlevine
www.cdbaby.com/jessedyen
www.forestsun.com 

It's $10 at the door, but you can get a 2-for-1 advance reservation 
deal by emailing reservations@aweber.com or filling out the form at 
www.acousticsongwriters.com. You can check out the artists at:

NOTE: For those of you who drive, there's a gravel parking lot behind 
One Taste. To access it from downtown SF, head west on Howard Street, 
and after crossing 6th Street, look carefully on your left for Moss 
Alley. (It's just before 7th Street.) Turn left down that alley, and 
pull in the very last parking lot on your left, just before you hit 
Folsom Street.

PS - Can't make this Gathering? Mark your calendar! The next three 
Gatherings are scheduled for January 21, February 18, and March 18 -- 
and will feature new singer/songwriters each time!

PPS - If you're a singer/songwriter and want to be featured at a 
future Gathering, please visit

# Women's 'Build Your Own Remote Controlled TENS Unit Class'

Richmond District

Women's ONLY Class 

Build Your Own Remote Controlled TENS Unit Class. 
Sunday, December 19, 2004. 11:00am to 2:00pm. 

Marpesia, Queen of Amazons, in conjunction with The Battery Boys, cordially 
invites you to the first ever, women-attendee's only class featuring your 
chance to build 
your very own RC TENS unit. 

If you don't know how to solder, no problem! Only 3 joins 
needed, you will be walked through the process, and I will be there to help. 

This class will be held on Sunday, December 19, from 11:00am to 2:00pm. 
The location is a VERY safe and convenient location in San Francisco's 
Richmond District, alongside Golden Gate park. Ample parking, and 
convenient Muni routes make this location extremely accessible, near Fulton 
and 25th Avenue. The major Muni lines 5 Fulton and 29 Sunset both stop at 
25th and Fulton. 

Take advantage of this woman's only opportunity to build a wonderful toy for 
yourself or the one you love to hurt. The only men in attendance at the 
class will be our instructors, The Battery Boys - and they WILL answer to me 
should their conduct give rise to complaints. 

If you would like to register for this class, go to: 
http://www.uncleabdul.com/UAwebmBB.htm 

If you have any questions please feel free to email me at: 
HerMajesty@Marpesia.com 

You may also take an interest about this class in the greater details 
written in Unc's own unique style. Those comments follow, below. 

Invitingly, 
Marpesia 
Queen of Amazons 
Dominatrix of the Goddesses 

If we see only with our eyes, 
We are blind. 
If we hear only with our ears, 
We are deaf. 
If we feel only with our hands, 
We are lost. 
~ Marpesia`s Proverb 

Uncle Abdul's Soliloquy on the course: 

Details: Build Your Own Remote Controlled TENS Unit -- Just in time for 
the Holidays. 

'Build Your Own Remote Controlled TENS Unit' will be coming up on Sunday, 
December 19th in San Francisco. Hundreds around the Bay Area and around 
the country (New York City, Black Rose, GWNN in Texas, KinkFest) have been 
enjoying these classes and SAVING MONEY ($200 or more over the 
commercially available units) since our first class in April, 2002. (See 
http://www.uncleabdul.com/UAwebBBart.htm for Todd's article in Janus' "Growing 
Pains" newsletter about that class.) 

As with our previous classes, you'll: 
* Actually build your very own unit using very simple and easy construction 
with plenty of help from the Boys -- We make sure you leave with a working 
unit that you can use that very night. 
* Learn about electrical play safety from Unc' 
* Learn how to use the unit that YOU build, i.e., how to hook it up to the 
subbie, etc. 
* Have fun 
* SAVE MONEY (starting at $50 for a basic class compared to spending $200 or 
more on commercial units) 

How can you get all this? Simply go to www.uncleabdul.com/UAwebmBB.htm 
and register. Remember, class size is limited and spaces really go fast. So 
ACT NOW! 

BUT WAIT... There's more. Now you get a choice of which unit you want build. 
T! here's the: 

TWD-1 -- The Boys' ol' reliable basic remote controlled unit that: 
*Gives you a burst of sensation (non-selectable but sequences through 5 
different ones) every time you hit the remote button. 
- Good for across the room subbie control 
- Costs only $50 for the basic class 

TWD-2 -- The Boys' NEW and IMPROVED remote controlled unit that: 
*Gives you a "on/off" sensation (push the remote to turn it on and again to 
turn it off). 
- The sensations are selectable at the remote unit (one of seven) 
- Same across-the-room subbie control 
- Costs $65 for the basic class 

Now, these prices are only good until December 13, 2004, so ya gotta ACT 
NOW! 

Wanna find out how to save even more and double your fun and knowledge in 
the process? Well, if you sign up before August 8th you can get a 
combination package of both the class of your choice (the TWD-1 or the 
TWD-2) AND a copy of Unc's book, Juice, for only $10 more (total of either 
$60 or $75 respectively). That's a savings of $5 over the two being bought 
separately. 

How can ya go wrong with those values? 

http://www.uncleabdul.com/UAwebmBB.htm to sign up, save, have 
fun, and walk away with your own remote-controlled electrical toy. 


# San Francisco - Sunday, Dec. 19th Press Conference preceding "Musicians for 
Peace Holiday Groove" - the Gateway of Encouragement to promote the development 
of a Department of Peace 

From 6 to 7 pm, a press conference is scheduled with Cindy Sheehan from 
Military Families Speak Out, Mike Robbins on behalf of the Peace Alliance and the 
national Dept of Peace Campaign and Alan Moore from Musicians and Fine Artists 
for World Peace. Cindy Sheehan will come out in support of the Department of 
Peace.  

Cindy Sheehan of "Military Families Speak Out" (www.mfso.org) states "I 
wasn't even aware of Department of Peace legislation until after my son, Casey 
Austin Sheehan was killed in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq. It is so ironic 
that my son, who modeled his life after St. Francis of Assisi was killed in a 
war. I, as a concerned American and Mother of a soldier, did not understand the 
insane rush to war in Iraq that our leaders were insisting on after 09/11/01. 
I didn't think that Mr. Bush had exhausted all diplomatic avenues before he 
authorized the attack. I wish Congress had been more responsible to its 
constituents before they abdicated their constitutional rights to declare war to this 
president. I fully endorse the establishment of a Department of Peace in our 
Executive Cabinet. Maybe future wars will be prohibited and maybe other 
mothers will be spared the pain I am going through."

Mike Robbins, a Speaker, Author and Coach in Empowering People to be More 
Successful will speak on behalf of the DOP Campaign that is headquartered in 
Center Line, Michigan as well as on behalf of the Peace Alliance.  Musicians and 
Fine Artists for World Peace is an official sponsor of the Department of Peace 
campaign.   

Alan Moore of Musicians and Fine Artists for World Peace, a Bay Area based 
group, will also announce they have surpassed 1,000 members worldwide and the 
release of their compilation cd - Make Love Not War.   Alan Moore, former 
project founder and member of the Berkeley Peace and Justice Commission, which was 
an advisory board to the City Council, is now the executive director of the 
Musicians and Fine Artists for World Peace and one of the organizers of this 
event.  

Following the press conference, a large group of musicians in the network 
will perform well into the night.  Tickets for the event are $10 general 
admission at door, $8 with butterfly attire, or $6 with wings. 

Representatives from the DOP campaign plan on attending. Those who cannot 
attend can call and write their representative urging them to support the DOP 
legislation (HR1673). If your representative is already a supporter, they can 
send them a thank you card. Join Musicians for Peace in initiating local events 
to support the establishment of the DOP from 6 pm to midnight, December 19th at 
Studio Z, 314 11th St, San Francisco, CA

# Sat Dec 25 Charlemagne Coronation Morning 
SF Golden Gate Park Lakes Hike 10:00 A.M.
 Lack of hunks and hunklettes under the morning tree, or simply not up 
for shredding non-biodegradable paper under a dead tree today?  Join 
Jonathon Eros in celebrating Charlemagne's 800 A.D. coronation with a 
flat, leisurely loop that should take about 2 - 2.5 hours to meander 
past most of the lakes in the park.  Consensus choice for multiple 
restroom stops and organizer's tour guide spiels.  Layered clothing 
choices may be needed at solstice but probably not.  Hike begins at 
the southeast corner of Fulton and 36th Ave. at 10:00 a.m.  Post-hike 
options for food/entertainment shall be discussed.  Oh, and extra 
points for bringing along particularly weird Xmaz gifts for our 
viewing pleasure.  DIRECTIONS: From the south, 280, take Hwy 1/19th 
Ave. exit, stay in right lanes at the 19th Ave./Juniperro Serra split 
to continue up J. Serra to Sloat, left and continue to the Great Hwy, 
right.  Go past the park and the remodeled windmill and turn right on 
Fulton.  Or try self-carpool location #6 at 8:55 a.m.  Maps, 
directions, etc. if you email.
ORGANIZER:  Queries to 415/752-2699, 6 - 9 p.m., but  please continue 
to call if organizer's return call to you is long distance, or try 
grizzly@laugingbear.org (might not be returned after 12/24).  If 
you're really lost, try organizer's cell at 415/710-2533.  Co-listed 
with various groups.  If it rains, we'll be brave and will stumble 
along anyway.
